Matthew 21:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ Then Jesus answered, and said to them, “I will also ask of you a certain thing which, if you tell me, I will likewise tell you by what authority I do these things.

²⁵ “The baptism of John. From where did it come - from Heaven or from man?” Then they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we shall say, ‘From Heaven’, He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’

²⁶ “And if we say, ‘From man’, we fear the multitude.” For all held John as a Prophet.
